I've listened via audiobook to many of the Wooster short stories before, but this was the first full-length story. Wodehouse never disappoints! This tale had me laughing out loud numerous times. I highly recommend the audiobook version-- the reader (Simon Prebble) has impeccable comic timing.
The device of using the cow creamer throughout the novel was inspired and utterly ridiculous. I loved it.
The writing of P.G. Wodehouse is brilliant and he is one of the funniest author I have ever read. But considering that it is the only thing positive about this book, I am disinclined to really like it.
The story was extremely predictable and the situational comedy became repetitive and boring after a while.

This book is simply too, too. Too funny, Too farcical. Too absurdly well-written to leave on the shelf. Bertie Wooster, with his affably distracted manner is the perfect foil for the all-knowing, keenly-perceptive Jeeves.
Wodehouse uses his sharp eye to draw down upon a cast of characters who, for the most part, would be insufferable pricks without Bertie there to sashay though the lot, mucking things up. When the supposed theft of a silver cow creamer is the weightiest aspect of the story, one may conclude that life is, indeed, a garden party for the Woosters and their compatriots.

My first Wodehouse experience and I enjoyed it. Bertie and Jeeves played thoroughly with my wits
